HipHop: A Love Story Ep. 3

For this episode of Hip Hop: A Love Story were going to take trip back to that feel good era of fusing a little HipHop with R&B. When asked Darwin "when did you fall in love with HipHop?" He had the most puzzling look on his face, after he processed it he knew without a doubt that the classic 1996 hit "No Diggity" by Blackstreet and Dr. Dre. Now this wasn't too hard to connect because Darwin is a proud LA resident and Dr. Dre is a Legend.

                       

He first heard this song when he was 4years old and I think we all had that one song as a toddler that would make us dance, well... this one was his. His favorite part is the point before the beat drops where one of the Blackstreet singers cue Dre to rap "Yo Dre drop the verse!" Followed by a strong tune played on the piano. It's the song that stood out the most to him, throughout the years of growing up he always felt good when this song came on. It was also cool to him that everyone may not know the group Blackstreet but when they hear the song they know it. Now as an adult, you find Darwin playing No Diggity on his iPod or in rare occasion he Karaokes.

KEVIN GATES... ON BEING KEVIN GATES

Today... we want to take some time out to pray for this guy we unfortunately have to call a rapper. As if its not enough that you rap about killing people but this guy says....“Niggas so stupid, talking ’bout a change gon’ come.” he said in a recently posted video. “[Since] Obama been in office I done buried more of my niggas and more family than I ever did in my life. All he did was fuck a nigga money up since he been in office. Please get this nigga out of office.”
Another idiotic mixtape rapper who blames the president for the problems of a society gone bad. Instead of calling it what it is "personal responsibility" he's looking for someone to blame. I don't remember ever seeing the president putting guns in the streets or drugs in peoples hands, or poverty into their mentality, those were personal choices. Mr. Gates would not speak on his personal choice to feed into the negativity of the streets with his wack lyrics or murder, violence, drugs, and lets not forget incest which from his IG he is in full support of. We need to keep people like this off the radios and off the tv at all times.
